On November 7, 2023, Williamson County Department of Emergency Services in Tennessee received a call for a fire in a wood line. That fire began to grow quickly from being small to peaking at 150 acres. TC Hake and TC Cummings worked together to dispatch additional needed units, document responses, and coordinated communication with the scene. This incident lasted over 10 hours, involved 36 fire apparatuses, command vehicles, and support vehicles attached on the fireside as well as Air1, state forestry, law enforcement, and a multitude of volunteers that came to the scene to assist. TC Hake and Cummings are being praised for doing a phenomenal job throughout this incident, representing WC911 with the highest level of professionalism. They demonstrated quick on-the-fly decision-making, leadership, teamwork, and thorough knowledge of the job.
